We attended a REAL ALASKA Wedding

Video Description

EPIC WINTER WEDDING IN ALASKA (Mountain Ceremony at Chena Hot Springs) This is North of Normal. This wasn’t just a wedding… this was a proper Alaskan wedding. We travel from Homer to Chena Hot Springs Resort on a beautiful November day—hauling a massive moose antler for the guest book and stepping into one of the most unique celebrations we’ve ever experienced. Before the ceremony, we take a look around the resort—then it’s time to get “dressed up” Alaska-style. Carhartts. Fur hats. Real conditions. From there, it turns into something unforgettable. A military-style trek up the mountain leads us to a stunning sunset ceremony overlooking the Alaska Range—a setting that feels as wild and real as Alaska itself. The bride and groom—from Chicken, Alaska and founders of the Chickenstock Music Festival—embrace it fully, wearing custom-made mukluks and celebrating in true Alaska fashion. And the party doesn’t disappoint. From Cousin Curtis playing live music to dancing in “chicken feet” (yes… orange Crocs 😄), this wedding captures the spirit, humor, and authenticity of life out here. Along the way, we experience so much more—stories, traditions, Athabaskan guests, fur hats, and even impressive military vehicles that add to the one-of-a-kind atmosphere. Because in Alaska… nothing is ordinary. If you're into Alaska culture, remote weddings, or unforgettable life experiences, this one’s for you. 🎥 SUBSCRIBE North of Normal for more real, unfiltered Alaska life.→ https://www.youtube.com/@lifenorthofnormal?sub_confirmation=1 🎥BONUS VIDEO: We also explore more of Chena Hot Springs Resort—including the geothermal system, greenhouse, and Ice Museum. https://youtu.be/PE1NRr8fnM0 Timestamps: 0:00 – Traveling to Chena Hot Springs 3:12 – Resort walkthrough 10:30 – Alaska wedding prep (Carhartts & fur hats) 13:25 -- Moose Antler Guest Book 16:42 -- Utility Vehicles and Wedding Preview 24:40 -- Mukluks and Local Fur Artist 33:30 – Mountain trek to ceremony 37:15 – Sunset wedding over the Alaska Range 48:10 – Reception & dancing (Cousin Curtis) #alaska #wedding #alaskalife Welcome to North of Normal.
